What I mean is if I run a cgi script that is not called from a form.
Then it seem to run fine.
But only if its name .pl.

RE: Cgi Win xp Perl
Try putting the -T after the -w at the top of your perl script, make sure
that your script ends in .cgi and your iis is setup to run scripts and
change
print $q->header ("text/plain");
to
print $q->header ("text/html");

I am running on a windows xp pro desktop with iis installed. I have
active state Perl installed and have been using it with out a problem. I
just started to play with cgi and I am having a lot of problems getting
it to work right. I have a static html form that's action calls the
following script. When it I hit submit all it does is display it as if
it was a text file. If I rename it to .pl then it tries to download it.
However if I have just call another test cgi script that displays some
html then it runs fine (also named .pl) with one exception it tells me
that it is to late to do -T.
So basically I need to find out how to call this script from my form and
have it execute.
Second I need to find out how to get .cgi scripts to load instead of
displaying or trying to download.
Third I need to know how to pass the -t to the compiler before my script
executes. (I am assuming this is a problem with Perl on windows not
using the shebang. Even though -w works odd.)

foreach $value ($q->param($name)){

It still just displays the contents of my script rather then running it.

Re: Cgi Win xp Perl
Do you have method=POST in the action call? Without that, many web servers will
assume GET.

Re: Cgi Win xp Perl
Hi Paul, Did you set up IIS for the virtual directory? You need top add a virtual directory for each location you'll be serving these scripts up from. File-system opening will not work as it does with static HTML. 1. Create a virtual directory in IIS 2 Right-click on it, and choose properties 3. Click configure 4. Make sure that *.pl and *.cgi are listed as file types for the server to handle. The path to the executable should be followed by " %s %s", like: f:\Perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s 5. Hake sure All Verbs is selected 6. Use the http://localhost/path URL format to access your script Joseph Paul Kraus wrote: > nope that's the stumper.

RE: Cgi Win xp Perl
Ok following these instructions. Now if I call a script http://localhost/path/myscript.cgi||.pl It will run the script just likes it is supposed to. When I call the scripts from a form with this command. then the pl file tries to download and the cgi file still displays the source. Where getting closer :) FYI I tried directing this to the cgi list but its seems to be very low traffic. 4 messages in two days. > -Original Message- > From: R.

RE: Cgi Win xp Perl
I believe in the new example the browser is not passing the form to any server because it is not a relative path, nor does it begin with a protocol specifier, and it recognizes C: as something it can handle. Try specifying either a relative path or using a full URL with something like http://localhost/path/script.cgi or http://127.0.0.1/path/script.cgi. Yeh the CGI list is kinda slow for the last few. A lot of us are on both lists and saw the thread originally appeared on the main list.

Re: Cgi Win xp Perl
Thanks, This demonstrates a very important point with CGI--whenever possible, one should use relative paths--and never use backslash-delimited paths in a URL, regardless of OS. Web servers will translate to the local delimiters transparently.

I am not sure what the %s %s does (not familar with IIS sorry) but my guess is the -wT should probably go in between the perl.exe and the %s %s. In general %s is a string being passed to the executable, so it may be required, IIS may be passing something through in place of the %s's in which case you would still need them. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Cgi Win xp Perl
Is this path right? This looks like a unix path and your trying this on
windows right?
> #!/usr/bin/perl -w
Anyway I setup my XP box to run perl, I am sorry to say I forget exactly
what I did but I know I had to set something up in IIS settings.
Sorry, you might get faster help from the cgi mailing list.

It still just displays the contents of my script rather then running it.
Do I need to some how associate .cgi with Perl?
